Heatwave for next couple weeks. Which means after a couple too three weeks of sun, it will change for the festival.

Woop woop

This time next week the weather charts will start to show the Glastonbury week (22nd, 23rd and 24th)

Confidence of anything that far out will be very very small but still exciting none the less.

[Untz]

I have the fear that we are going to peak too soon.

[Harry3]

Its that time of the year when I find myself looking at weather charts pretending I understand them

[russycarps]

this is the first time I've opened the thread. Why did I do it! Doom and gloom about peaking too soon etc.

DAMN YOU ALL!

Doom and gloom is your bag russ thought you'd be fine with it

Accuweather has sunshine Wednesday, cloudy Thursday/Friday/Saturday and some r*in on Sunday. Highs in the low 20's and high teens.

I would definitely take that.

The BBC put the kaibosh (spelling?) on the heatwave predicted today - they reckon (London forecast at 7:30 today) that today will be nice then turn into rain/wind for a few days, Thursday and Friday the temperature will spike and we get some sun, then back to lower temps again next week.

I would take that weather outlook forecast for the fest though. Sun and lower temps please, 2010 was lovely but really fucked me over come the Saturday, I remember almost crying for joy when the breeze hit the site on Sunday!

I loved 2010, but then I took it easier as a result. My biggest expense that year was fruit smoothies. My daughter struggled by Sunday though.

I was once fucked up by heatwave weather (Phoenix 94) and got myself in a right state. Just a few weeks after my mate had done the same at Glastonbury so I should have known better. There is no worse pain than sunburnt backs of the knees and shins.

The BBC weather is the least reliable indicator outside of my nan's seaweed in the shed.

[The Placid Casual]

It's gonna be sunny.

What is the seaweed's current prediction for Glastonbury?

[Spindles]

Keep the faith. Normally there has been some sort of indication of what sort of spring we've had, but it's been a sort of ambling, mixed bag which hasn't really got it's act together this year, so frankly anything could happen.

Sadly my Nan is now dead (4 days short of her hundredth birthday) so no way of knowing. I now rely on Big dog for the best info on weather.

2010 was lovely on the Friday until I came across faint during Flo - had to be walked to the tap! After that proper had to take it easy. Sunday was great though, with the breeze!

I agree with the knees sunburnt, happened to me on the beach in Barcelona. Every step is like torture!

[Spindles]

Yeah, until then I didn't realise that there was sunburn that could make you feel sick every time it is touched even slightly. I was young and foolish then, I'm old and foolish now (but packing suncream this year).

[sedra]

Not sure what happened to Flaming June here in the south:( 50mph winds, heavy rain and the heating on- definitely not camping weather tonight!!

[gooner1990]

This is getting me seriously worried at the moment.

I'm working at Download festival next week (luckily in the ticket office with my company so ill be undercover!) so not sure that's going be a barrel of laughs either!

[Tyonks]

I'm sure the weather Gods are just getting all the terrible weather out the way, just in time for Glastonbury!

Maybe.

[Bignews]

My friend went on her first camping trip today in Cornwall, they went off for dinner and came back to find one tent had flooded and the other had flown away.... they packed up what they could and headed straight home.... No options like that at glasto

[Tyonks]

I came back to to my tent having collapsed under the weight of all the rain/wind at IOW 2011. Luckily it was the Sunday evening though, so we could make a sharp exit.

[admscott]

I've studied all of the charts and historic trends. Here is my forecast for the week:

Tuesday: A blustery end to the day for some, with winds coming from the south-anus. Chances of vomit: low

Wednesday: A bright start with runny spells. Cloud and tents building until lunchtime. A relatively dry afternoon but with isolated ciders becoming more prolonged through the evening and overnight.

Thursday: Glorious farts and shitty intervals from the word go. Temperatures in my underpants will rise steadily to around 29 degrees by mid afternoon. Humidity high. Sweaty spells. Vomit levels: moderate to high.

Friday: a hazy start in camp, with head-fog lingering until noon for some. Ciders will become persistent through the afternoon and may give way to skittles vodka by dusk. Outside chance of chundery showers overnight, with my mate Steve looking most likely to be affected.

Saturday: dense fog early on will make drinking conditions difficult. Muggy day for Steve, but a light whinge may develop and take the edge off those temperatures. Chundery showers again developing through the evening, and early indications suggest that Steve may see the highest totals since records began.

Sunday: some uncertainty at present, but have your goggles at the ready because this may be a wet one. Torrential piss with potential for flooding in low lying urinals.
